How do I set the iDRAC Thermal Base Algorithm via CLI?
Steps:
Modifying the Thermal Base Algorithm via DM, RACADM, WS-MAN.
Low Fan Offset:
ipmitool -H <ip address> -U root -P calvin 0x30 0xce 0 0x9 7 0 0 0 7 0 0 2 0xff 0 0
High Fan Offset:
ipmitool -H <ip address> -U root -P calvin 0x30 0xce 0 0x9 7 0 0 0 7 0 0 2 0xff 1 0
Default/None Fan Offset:
ipmitool -H <ip address> -U root -P calvin 0x30 0xce 0 0x9 7 0 0 0 7 0 0 0 0xff 0 0
